Re: Send HTML/plain text email using PHP

Just as an FYI, the following line will get your email a lot of spam points in SpamAssassin: $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; Also, I don't know if this has already been suggested, but there is an awesome class named htmlMimeMail which will handle your needs perfectly. Google it and you will have everything you need. -JEremy On Friday 28 May 2004 05:49 am, Matt MacLeod wrote: > I've been having a little trouble configuring a script to send a > multipart email using PHP. > > The script send the message, but when I recieve the email it doesn't > display the HTML version and I have to tell my mail client to displlay > the plain text version (Mail on OS X 10.3.3). > > Here's the script: > > $headers .= "FROM: vinciane@london21.org\n"; > $headers .= "Reply-To: vinciane@london21.org\n"; > $nonhtml = strip_tags($emailsend); > // This is the important part! > // This content type identifies the content of the message. > // The boundary delimits the plain text and html sections. > // The value of the boundary can be anything - you can even use the > same one we used here > $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary=\"----=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0\"\n\n"; > $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; > $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n"; > $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()."\r\n"; > $headers .= "X-Sender: vinciane@london21.org\r\n"; > $headers .= "Return-Path: vinciane@london21.org\r\n"; > // Now begin your message, starting with the delimiter we specified in > the boundary > // Notice that two extra dashes (--) are added to the delimiters when > // They are actually being used. > $message = '------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > > '; > $message .= $nonhtml; > > $message .=' > '; > > > // Now begin your HTML message, starting with the delimiter > // Also notice that we add another content-type line which > // lets the mail client know to render it in HTML > $message .= '------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0 > Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > '; > $message .= $emailsend.' > > ------=_NextPart_000_002C_01BFABBF.4A7D6BA0--'; > > // Now send the mail. > // The additional header, "-f vinciane@london21.org" is only required by > // some configurations. > > echo $message; > $v = 'matt@bigbarn.co.uk'; > > mail($v, "Test", $message ,$headers,"-f vinciane@london21.org"); > > > > Any ideas would be gratefully received! > > Thanks, > Matt
